Biodiverse is a tool for the spatial analysis of diversity using indices based on taxonomic, phylogenetic and matrix-based (e.g. genetic distance) relationships, as well as related environmental and temporal variations.
Biodiverse supports four processes:
1. linked visualisation of data distributions in geographic, taxonomic, phylogenetic and matrix spaces;
2. spatial moving window analyses including richness, endemism, phylogenetic diversity and beta diversity;
3. spatially constrained agglomerative cluster analyses; and
4. randomisations for hypothesis testing.
Take Biodiverse for a test drive to see what it can actually do for you!

General:
· Groups and spatial outputs can now be exported direct to DIVAGIS raster formats. Issue #220
GUI:
· Matrices generated by cluster analyses are now added to the project and can be visualised as a spatial plot. Click on an element (cell) in the plot to see its dissimilarity with every other element used in the matrix (the index element is coloured grey). This is very useful when used in conjunction with tools like Generalised Dissimilarity Modelling and when interpreting correlograms of species turnover. Issue #199
· Grey scale shading is now supported. Issue #32
· Users can now switch between tabs using control-tab and shift-control-tab keys. Issue #196
· The colour of the shapefile overlay can be changed. Issue #75
· Outputs tab - the output type is listed next to each output. Issue #201
· Colour stretches can be adjusted using percentile values (2.5, 5, 95, 97.5). Issue #244
· View labels tab
· Element properties with a value of nodata are displayed as -99999. Issue #189
· System no ...
